First Daddy Bush became president, and later his son. I am honestly
surprised that the US does not have a law against several generations of the
same family occupying the White House.
I mean, that does give an awful lot of power to just one family. What if
later on one of his daughters would become president? That way, the Bush
family would be on its way to become something similar to the Royal Families
we have in Europe. (I know there is a word for one family running the
country for generations, I just cannot remember it right now. Oligarchy?)
On the positive side, we will know *one* thing for sure when one of GWB's
girls becomes president: she won't repeat history, and place a ban on
alcohol... <grin>
